Acrylogic is a board game released in 2023 for 1–99 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Léandre Proust and its main mechanics are Deduction, Paper-and-Pencil, and Solo / Solitaire Game.
Acrylogic is a logic and deduction game on the theme of painting. Published in the form of a magazine, all you need is a pen and a brain to play it! Inspired by Sudoku, the objective of the game in Acrylogic is to solve puzzles in the form of 3x3 or 4x4 grids. Acrylogic can be played solo as well as with others in cooperation or competition. Using only numbers and colors, it is a universal game, without text. In Acrologic, find the color and the amount of paint used in each of the 16 white squares. In each white square, write a number between 1 and 4, along with one of the following colors: yellow, blue, red or white (colorless). Each square is unique: there cannot be two identical squares with the same number and the same color. The paint marks, made up of a number or of a color, located between the white squares, are clues that provide multiple information. If a paint mark indicates “5”, it means that one of the two white squares is a 2 and the other is a 3. If a paint mark indicates “green”, it means that one of the two white squares is yellow and the other is blue. Note: the color white is colorless. Consider it the same as the color of the adjacent square. If you want to play Acrylogic in solo or in co-op with other players, you only need one Acrylogic magazine. Solve the grids at your own pace, in the order of your choice. If you want to play Acrylogic with multiple players in competitive mode, each player will need their own Acrylogic magazine. In competitive play, players attempt to solve the same grid as quickly as possible, all at once. You must play all the grids in one magazine, one after the other, from the first to the last (in multiple rounds), with the same group of players. —description from the designer
Acrylogic supports 1–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Acrylogic is 5–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Acrylogic for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Acrylogic has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
